Georgian Pinchbeck Long Drop Earrings c.1830s Antique Dangle Earrings Floral & Scroll Design 7.2cm Rare Collectible Jewelry
Description:
An exceptional pair of Georgian-era drop earrings crafted in Pinchbeck, dating to the 1830s. These elegant long earrings showcase masterful craftsmanship, featuring a slender tapered silhouette with delicate micro-mesh texturing, ornate floral wreaths, and stylized Baroque scroll motifs.
At the top, spiral-textured spheres lead into secure shepherd hook fittings, making them easy and comfortable to wear. With their warm golden tone and refined antique detailing, these earrings beautifully capture the fashion and artistry of the early 19th century.
Pinchbeck is a historic 18th-century gold substitute developed by British watchmaker Christopher Pinchbeck — an alloy of copper and zinc designed to closely mimic the look and luster of real gold. Durable and rich in color, it was a favored material for fine jewelry in the Georgian and early Victorian eras and is now highly sought-after by collectors.
